I was driving east, trying to go straight through the Covenanter/College Mall intersection. I was in the eastbound straight lane right behind the stop bar. The signal did not detect my vehicle (a small SUV) and I ended up sitting through three light cycles (westbound traffic was getting a green, but not eastbound) before more vehicles came up behind me and then finally got a green light. I've experienced this same thing routinely on bicycle and I've learned to wheel over onto the sidewalk and push the button, but this was the first time it's happened to me in a car and I didn't really have any options other than to sit. Thank you for your attention.

The traffic signal for southbound traffic on Rogers heading to the intersection with 2nd Street is a mess. Why is there no left turn arrow? Why is the light only 18 seconds from the time it turns green to when it turns red again? The detour for College Ave. being closed to southbound traffic goes onto Rogers south to east on 2nd, yet this is the best setup we have? An 18 second traffic signal with no left turn arrow? Brilliant.

Over the weekend, twice when I was driving on Walnut Street I had the light for traffic on Walnut Street at the intersection with South Drive turn red for no reason. There were no cars on South Drive and no pedestrians to trigger it. Both times it takes about 35-40 seconds before the light is green again for Walnut traffic. On one occasion, I counted at least 20 cars sitting on Walnut waiting for a ghost to cross the street or drive through. Can the city fix this light so it does not randomly go to red on its own and disrupt traffic significantly on Walnut? -- I have reported this before, a few weeks ago, and it is clearly not fixed.

Light at W 2nd st and S Adams st is out due to power outage. Duke energy is aware but needs someone to direct traffic in the meantime.

The east-west signal at Covenanter and College Mall Rd remains a persistent problem for cyclists. The signal seems to be triggered at best by a motor vehicle presence, meaning a cyclist approaching the intersection with no car nearby has no way to get a green light except by pressing a pedestrian beg button that is not accessible from the road. This is a recurrent problem that keeps getting marked “closed” but without real evidence that the matter has been addressed successfully for east-west transportation at this intersection. See these past comparable complaints: 11/12/2025 #206750 (when the signal was not even responding to a car) 8/5/2025 #204676 6/26/2025 #203711 4/2/2024 #187457

E bound on 3rd, left hand lane going straight, at intersection with Kingston - Traffic light (at least the green) isn't working

Left turn arrow turning west (left) from south side of Kinser Pike onto the Bypass is very short. Normally only one car, maybe two can go at a time before it turns yellow. There is a flashing yellow arrow that appears after the light goes red but it is also very short and sometimes doesn’t even appear even if there is traffic sitting in the lane. The short left turn arrows causes traffic to be backed up

When going north on Kinser Pike and turning left onto 46, the green left turn arrow seems unusually short.
